Soldier of Fortune, you're a gypsy horseman, Riding off into the night, You wanna be free, but it's not easy to leave a good woman behind. Midnight rider, step into the light, It shines right across the road, Your lady stands waiting, with tears in her eyes, How could you hurt her so. chorus: Soldier of Fortune, you're playing a game with her heart, She's aching, she's breaking, her small world is falling apart And a good woman's hard to find - a good woman's hard to find Don't the old folk speak with caution, 'Bout a solider of fortune. Solider of Fortune, your daystar is rising, Shining to guide you home, Forget your pride, you got nothing to hide, You'd never have made it alone. chorus: Soldier of Fortune, you're playing a game with her heart, She's aching, she's breaking, her small world is falling apart And a good woman's hard to find - a good woman's hard to find Don't the old folk speak with caution, 'Bout a solider of fortune.
